Most condos in Singapore have compact living spaces with modern kitchen, basic fixtures and bathroom fittings like in-built washing machine and dryer.

Although condos have compact living spaces, it is not necessarily easier to design. In fact, no design is easy. It takes proper space and design planning to turn your home into a masterpiece.

Due to a condo’s limited living space, one may face restrictions and limitations coming up with a design idea as compared to a landed property or jumbo flat. Therefore, many condominium owners find it harder to create a design to meet their specific needs and wants.

However, it could be a blessing in disguise if you play it smart with the help of an interior designer.

With the absence of a backyard or second-floor hallway with rooms like your landed property, furnishing a condo can have lower costs.

While condos may not have backyards, they have a nice balcony which you can make full use of. In fact, there are many ways to make your condo look more elegant at an affordable price.

Keep these things in mind before starting any condo interior design project:

1. Consult your condo management office before doing any kind of renovation since the management may have a different set of guidelines that you need to follow.
2. Visit BCA or go to their website if you are not sure about what permits, or approvals are needed for your renovation project.
3. Renovation costs for a new condo unit will generally be lower since most of them are furnished with built-in washers and dryers, some of them have ready-made floorings as well.
4. Be prepared to spend more for resale condos since additional renovation works to conceal the cables, change the fixtures or flooring may be necessary.
